The Versatility Of Caravan Insurance
The 1970’s rock band Caravan once released a rather oddly titled album called “For Girls Who Go Plump In The Night” which, let’s be honest, isn’t the kind of thing you’d expect to read in an article about caravan insurance, even if the writer owns one (a caravan that is!) An insurance man in a caravan is perhaps not that strange, but an insurance man in a caravan listening to Caravan? No way!
Although I’m not entirely sure why I start thinking about this, I’m pretty sure it’s because I was looking back at some photos of last year’s Glastonbury festival the other day and I noticed just how many caravans were there in one get-up or another. Being an insurance man, I was of course thinking about the cover they had and whether or not the underwriters knew exactly what they were being used for.
If I remember correctly, these caravans were being used for everything from living quarters to tea shops (and I’m still talking about proper caravans, curtains and all, not mobile catering units) they were also used as places for tired musicians to rest and some were even housing paid showers.
Over in the camping fields there were caravans sheltering security staff from the rain, acting as the temporary weekend home for ageing rockers (some may have even been fellow caravan fans who knows?) and as the meeting point for lost festival goers.
Some of the bands use caravans too of course. Great big ones with one extra wheel at the front for steering the things for a start. They use them for changing in, partying in and well, all of the other things that bands do although I’m not certain that Caravan ever used one, that’s too good to be true isn’t it? Caravan in a caravan listening to their debut album (yes that’s right called “Caravan”). Perhaps they even went along with their friends in a convoy – a caravan of caravans including a caravan with Caravan in it listening to Caravan!
Anyway as I said, I started thinking about whether or not they had the correct insurance cover and let’s face it, they probably didn’t did they? If you’re thinking about taking your caravan along to a festival this year it’s worth thinking about proper insurance. A caravan can get damaged by careless fellow festival goers, it can slide off of its own accord into the mud, they can get flooded inside, catch fire, get blown away and, well, almost anything can happen. Luckily you can insure your caravan against most things – even collisions with uninsured caravans being used as tea shops!
Coversure are leading providers of caravan insurance if you are thinking about taking your caravan to a place where it would be even remotely at risk, like at a music festival, you should think about taking out some caravan insurance so that you can just enjoy the festival without worrying too much.
